“Wills shop has been my favourite for years now. He cares about the customers, it really shows with the packaging. There is always a great selection and a reason to visit his store to build your collection or gift a friend. It's always a great experience and I'd recommend a visit. Thanks.”
Shane
“Stunning Fulgurite!! Well packaged. Appreciate the write up about this energetic piece and the little something extra - tangerine quartz from Brazil. It also came with a display case! Thank you so much!”
Missy
“As always, excellent meteoric quality and shape received once again from Will and HigherLevel Creations! Thank you,”
